UPDATE. Help! I Think I Have Ebola!

Ok, I may be being a little dramatic. I'm not bleeding out of my eyes anyway. Looking to get some relief. I've tried tea tree oil, Thieves, peppermint oil, steamy shower, honey, and generic Theraflu. It hurts to cough. My lungs are on fire and I feel like I'm going to cough up my esophagus.

Update***

I know you guys are just dying to know if I made it through the night. Well...I did. I finally decided to go to the doctor. Turns out I have bronchitis and an ear infection. She started me on some Amoxicillin and ordered me a bottle of cough syrup with codeine. Looking forward to posting tonight after a large dose of that stuff! Lol!

Thanks for all your help. I am going to stock my cabinet with some of these recommendations. I'm usually good about being able to care for my ailments with vitamins and essential oil but for some reason I was unable to take care of this one.

On second thought, even though you may be on the mend, since death is inevitable anyway, I now think you should quit procrastinating and throw in the towel. I mean why not just get it over with? ;-)

Seriously, you will want to start taking some good probiotics after those antibiotics. I think it's good to take several different ones. Prescrip-Assist, Flora Balance, Custom Probiotics' 11 strain and Five Lac are the ones I use. Active fermented vegetables such as Bubbie's sauerkraut are beneficial as well.

It costs around a dollar per capsule, generally, and you want to take 4-8 for rough times, and 1-2 daily for maintenance. So it's not the least expensive solution, but man does it work -- well, and quickly.

I haven't tried the others you mentioned. I would note, though, that VSL3 comes packaged with a freezer-pack, and it should be kept refrigerated to keep the cultures alive. If a competing brand doesn't do that, then I would imagine that it's not quite as effective.

All the ones I mentioned, except for the Custom Probiotics, do not require refrigeration, which is very handy. SBOs do not require refrigeration to remain potent. I think with the 5 Lac, the enteric coating keeps it fine at room temp. That said, I wouldn't order any of these in summer when they're likely to be killed by the very high heat.

I'm sure a lot of people on DP have invested in silver. Well, with two 99.9% silver coins, two alligator clips and an old cell phone charger, you can have a quart of colloidal silver in about 30 min. Youtube it!

down this thread. Take one or two teaspoons of Braggs Organic, raw, unfiltered, Apple Cider Vinegar every day. Some people dilute it in a glass of water. Me? I'd sooner get it over with and just down it straight.

some amish folks here,I buy all kinds of things from them,and they have re-taught me things i knew before.
we have a farmers market here,and they sell their products,but also teach ones who want to learn,most don't,but I DO
I wouldn't go so far as marketing,but i would sell to some who know what they are getting.
Hey, I see you brought a friend unto the DP,good job.

and, in your case, used in combination with the other things people posted here. (I would strongly recommend using the products I mentioned in my comment below, as well. I still think you need to see a doctor, though.)

That has helped me in the past. I also recommend Wellness Formula. Theraflu only works if you take with within the first 48 hours of the start of symptoms. It works by disrupting the reproduction of the flu virus. The first three days of a flu are rapid reproduction, and the rest of the time your body is dealing with the after-effects.

But the best thing for you is a healthy diet, full of lots and lots of raw vegetables, tea w/raw honey, raw milk, lean meat, and more raw vegetables. Every color of the rainbow. A diet like that and in about a week you won't be sick for longer then 1 day.
